[x] I don't play computer games. Although there are a couple of noir-ish/hardboiled detective things that have splendid-looking trailers. But that would mean pissing about with the tiresome bloody people who sell game-boxes and flat tellys and oh god ugh, frankly.
Certified (and possibly certifiable) Halo nut, so PC and Xbox and Xbox 360. My elderly SDTV literally died under the strain of my Halo 2 addiction in late 2004 (right before I was going to hold a New Year's LAN, and one of the Bungie guys was going to drop by while he was in town too) so I got my 26", 85lb cube-o-glass HDTV then as an attempt to future-proof a bit. Pity that you can get the same size and quality of TV for half the price and a quarter the weight now.
I selected "no hurry" for Blu-ray because I suppose I'll eventually end up with a player, but with such a small screen-size BD's resolution is serious overkill; my upscaling DVD player is quite adequate, so there's no real burning need for me to shell out for a new player and pay a premium per disc.
-- Steve is still awaiting a digital-to-analog signal converter for his rabbit ears, as they're not commonly available in the Great White North yet even though the Southern Menace has already converted over. Grr.
I only play a few old PC games - Magic the Gathering, Doom - and various old arcade, console and home computer games under emulation, such as Super Mario World and Super Pang on the SNES, Defender and Gauntlet from the arcade roms under MAME, and Boulderdash on the C64.
Unexpectedly, my new gaming laptop came fitted with a Blu-ray player, a HD screen and a TV-out socket.
So... I technically ave a Blu-ray player but we still watch telly on a clunky old 32" CRT 'square' screen TV. I'm watching the price of large, quality widescreen HD TVs dropping and I suspect we won't be getting one until we have to.

[] Gadgets
[] Swords
I can play computer games obsessively...
[] As soon as I am home from work.
[] When I am old.
A good sword is
[] One with lots of spikes, and a complicated blade, oh and jewels and gold on the hilt.
[] Near to hand as I type this.
